Shown in this image taken from her Myspace profile, Mildred Patricia Baena was a housekeeper-assistant for the Schwarzenegger family for more than 20 years
Mother Mildred Patricia Baena listed her then-husband as the boy's father on the child's birth certificate in 1997.
She filed for separation three weeks later, according to the Dissolution of Marriage documents filed with the courts. She checked the box indicating that she and her husband had no children together, records show.
The reason for the separation: "Irreconcilable differences."
Going by the name "Patty," Baena reportedly worked in the family home as a housekeeper and assistant for more than 20 years, until this January.
Meanwhile, Shriver has hired high-profile divorce lawyer Laura Wasser.
A representative for Shriver had no comment. Wasser represented Britney Spears when she divorced Kevin Federline.
As for Schwarzenegger, he has a financial obligation to care for his illegitimate child, family law experts say. "In this particular situation with this child, he's on the hook for child support potentially but not spousal support or property division because these parties aren't married," family law attorney Steve Mindel explained. www.mannamart.com
